my that are should even prefer Mr. JAM Es's putting ill execution his threat of quitting the House for ever. A meeting of the friends of Mr. Alderman TUOMP• 10N 11 to take plate to-morrow at the London Taiern, to adopt pleasures for securing his return as one' of the Representatives in Parliament for the City. We heartily wish the worthy Alderman success in the object of his ambition ; and we cannot entertain a doubt of it, when we look at the list of persons who have 'signed the requisition for this meeting, a list which comprises the names` of individuals of the first character, talent, consequence, and wealth, in the City of London. We have already expressed our opinion of the Re presentatives of London during the present Parliament) and our hope that - the choice of the livery would fall on men more 'eminently 'qualified to represent the interests of this great commercial city in the new Par liament. We do not know that they could select a fitter person than Mr. THOMPSON. His experience of mercantile affairs, his general information and talents, his character and fortune, all unite to qualify him in a peculiar manner for the high station to which ho.aspires; while his knowledge of the House of COMO.. WNW aud of its business, and his power of speaking. in it Vail effect, will render him an efficient and useful Member of the Legislature. His personal manners, and the circumstance of his possessing an Alderman's gown, certainly also addio his other q ualifications, In thus speaking of this' Gentleman, we are- not actuated by any other motives whatever than a sincere desire to see the choke of the City fall 'upon an able and respectable man. 'We prefer the 'recommendations of commercial experience, sound sense, and upright character, to those - founded on the fame of Guildhall orato r y—the favour of the mob—or the influence of the evanescent honours of the Mayoralty. We mentioned yesterday the receipt of a letter from St. Helena, stating the arrival of the ship: Mellish, With accounts of a Treaty of Peace - having. , been Agreed upon with the Burmese. We are without any confirmation of this repiirt, and various circumstances induce us altogether to discredit it. An event or such importance to the East India Company, and in deed to the country, would have been communicated by an overland dispatch, or at all events, by a vessel specially charged with the official Reports, ,instead of by a ship prosecuting the circuitous voyage which the Mellish is stated to haVe been employed on.

The following are extracts : _ _ LEIPSIO, APRIL M The fair turns out to be worse than was at first expected. Not *so speak of the unfavourable weather, there is a want of purchasers, of money, and of credit. Goods, of almost every kind, have fallen in prim, and when sales are made it is generally with a loss.— Leather .has fallen 10 per cent. ; coarse wollen cloths, 15 per cent. There are not so many Poks, RuSaians, and Jews at the fair as we expected ; and as Leipsigloaei . about 3300,000 dollars by a Swiss house in Ilerdieyero, wh:ch has stopped payment, they ean hardly obtain any goods on credit,,et4m the best Bills of Ex change are , not taken without hesitation.

The Camelcon sailed from Spithead yesterday on a cruise. (From the Devonport Telegraph.) By a letter received here yesterday morning, we learn that the Pandora, 18, Capt. Jervoise, from this port, was at Port Prays, St. Jago, "getiing water, on the 6th January. Being heavily laden with stores, she made rather a bad passage. On the 14th December, the ship was caught in a white squall, which laid her down, and filled the waist with water, when the gunner, with great presence , of mind, cut away the foresheet, and let fly the main and Minn top-sail sheets, and she righted. On the 19th December, in lat. 46. 51. N. and long. 8. 47. \V. she experienced a dreadful gale from S.W. From three till eleven P.m., their fate was doubtful ; but on cutting away two anchors from the bows, and throwing two guns overboard, the ship was reliaved. EAST INDIA SHIPPING. The East India Company's ship Lowtiler Castle arrived off the Start the 28th ultimo. She left China tht 16th January, and St. Helena the 20th March. The Bombay and Windsor, homewari bound, were in the Strain. of Sunda, the Slat January. The Scald)) , Castle and Buckinghamshire, also homeward bound, were in lat. 10. 18. South, long. 99. O.

The Charles Grant left Penang the 19th November, and ar rivedin China the 13th of January. The Orient was at Penang the 18th November. Yesierday the dispatches for China, by the ship Orwell, Capt.

C racei, of Christ appgaring N. St. Peter qfter his Re surrection, first &Mut our attention. The delicacy of finish in the execution' is not less admirable than the', fine expression of feature and attitude in both the figures. In particular, that of 'our Lord appears to glow with all the freshness of recently restored life ;. whilst the ' mixture - of-surprise and devotiOn in the' Apoatle.ie not less strikingly pourtrayed. . 1 , The Dominichino is in a grand and classical style , but the , subject, Erminia and the shepherds, from Tasso,' is not,partieularly interesting. • _ The, naczhanalian Dance, by Nicholas Poussin, is replete with animation and expression ; but we con ceive the Bacehus and Ariadne, .by Titian, must be `we to be.the master-piece of this set. Whether ;we regard_ the. Soft,` roundness of the flesh, or the ex treme, : racefulllos, and . force . of the attitudes, the es tiv fi&ot of Ariadne and the young deity are ini -1)fl intable , t . :l'lje arrangement of .A r iadne's drapery is siring y h gne, and the descending attitude of Bacchus uninhaPtl.,,.

Of the truly .inunificent, present of Sir George Beauinont it is impossible to speak in terms of too much admiration;. it comprises 16 pictures, nearly even?. one of the ver l4l : se4Pc' by . Itilbens no eye can y first class. 'Upon the'r'eat help - resting; , it has; 'all the cliarin of actual nature, 4 and exhibits that harrkinions combination of natural rural objects, which a 'painter of 'philosophic mind alone knows how to put together, so as satisfy the judgment while it.pleases,the eye„ s ;;',,Tlikeountry man sion, with, the various :characters ccMiected with or dependent upon it, *seems - , to •Cientplify 110'Spitillity, agricUlture, and field sports'; and the rich domain which we overlook' is finely expressive 'of the fertility and variety of nature, while the distant spires of the city appropriately terminate the view in one direction, and an extension of the same fine country, as far as the eye can reach, in the other. Of the three exquisite Claudes (14, 16, and 17), it is not undue praise to say that they rival those in the original collection. The iaerfect composition, the fine Ilmonious tints, the delicate touches of this ' admirable master, are here displayed with the most capital effect : the story of Narcissus is depicted in a truly classical style, and not less attractive are its two side companions: • The Sebastian Bourdon is very much in the style Of Poussin, and is remarkable for a chaste simplicity of composition, and somewhat sombre colouring. The - Portrait (fa Jew, by Rembrandt, has all the characteristic profound expression of that , singular but masterly genius, and not less is this displayed in his small sketch of the De . Scentfroni the Cross. The Small Claude,,Cop Was and Procris, though perhaps inferior to the othersi is nevertheless a painting *high has all the int - •$ t which the woody recesses of c t iliis master so powei. "'excite.

However, we proceed to state our re. marks, as well as we could make them :- The first thing which struck us, is the Drunken Husband, by Kidd, which is not deficient in humour.

No. 40, The Beach between Hastings and Rye, by Mr. Burton, is very good; and a Portrait, by Howard (44), par ticularly attracted our attention.

No. 67 we looked at for some time, tracing a close resemblance to the fins and intelligent features of the Bishop of Chester; as also at No. 76, which we thought an equally good portrait of the Bishop of London. We were not a little dismayed, on turning to our catalogue, to perceive that the. former was the Bishop of Chichester, and the latter the. Bishop of Chester.

No. 5b3, The Baptism of Christ, is completely; theatrical. The only. things of interest among the multitudinous designs of the Model. Academy are, three—fur the Re.storatioin of St. Sa viour's, Southwark, of which the first, (876), has 414 one fault, viz., that it is not a restoration at all, being in a totally different style from the original building; the others, 081 and 987, are in very good taste. No. 944, represents a splendid palace, on which, when we come to examine it, we end it inscribed "Plate Glass Mann. factory !!" In the Model Academy, the only works'which in any degrm struck us, are the Model for a bronze statue of the Right :Hon. IL Grattan, and a statue of Washington, by Chantrey; and the model of" Orphans lathe grave of their parents" (1010) by Oar line. To these we may add Westmaeott's statue of Lord Erskine; and believe we have named all that possess any prominent merit. We ,have extended one enumeration of those works of art which have peculiarly struck us, to so great a length, that we shall not at present tangle" upon our readers with any general remarks —but merely request them to go and form their own opinion.
